Why is Health Care so hard to fix?

I really can't figure out why this is so hard to fix. You have health care providers on the one side (hospitals, doctors, drug companies) and those who need the aformentioned services and products on the other side. In the US, connecting the two has become an all-consuming component that has apparently created the (very expensive) mess we are in.

This may sound like I think the problem can be solved with one organization in the middle (government) to parcel everything out between the two. And it is tempting to think about how clean that may appear. But after attending a Medicare sales meeting today and knowing how complex the government makes things, I think we should run from a government driven solution. Come on private sector, get going to fix this problem before its too late!!
